Under the traditional costing method (which assigns overhead on the basis of direct labor hours), the amount of manufacturing overhead costs assigned to the following by Perdon Corporation are:
1) One mobile safe $448 per unit
2) One walk-in safe $3,808 per unit
What is a predetermined overhead rate?
A predetermined overhead rate is used by the traditional costing method, unlike the Activity-based costing system (ABC), which uses activity drivers and cost pools.
The traditional costing method assigns overhead costs based on a companywide cost driver, for example, direct labor hours.
Data and Calculations:
Total overhead = $280,000
Mobile Safes Walk-in Safes Total
Units planned for production 200 50 250
Material moves per product line 300 200 500
Purchase orders per product line 450 350 800
Direct labor hours per product line 800 1,700 2,500
Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour = $112 ($280,000/2,500).
Total overhead costs assigned to $89,600 $190,400
($112 x 800) ($112 x 1,700)
Overhead per unit $448 $3,808
($89,600/200) ($190,400/50)
Thus, under the traditional costing method, the amount of manufacturing overhead costs assigned are $448 per unit of Mobile Safe and $3,808 per unit of Mobile Safe.
